What is Hospice Care?
Hospice palliative care means providing opportunities for patients and families to uniquely address practical, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while preparing for the patient’s death.
Every year, Hospice Halifax welcomes approximately 150 terminally ill patients facing the end of life, including vulnerable seniors, people living with physical disabilities, and people who are precariously housed.
With Your Support,
We Can Do More
In order for us to continue to provide the best end of life care free of charge, reaching our fundraising goals is imperative.
Our objective is to make hospice care equitably available to all members of our community regardless of their setting of care.
All gifts to the hospice, no matter the size, help us reach our fundraising target of $1 million a year.
Nova Scotia Healthcare Foundations 50/50 Fundraiser
The Nova Scotia Healthcare 5050 is a monthly online raffle fundraiser supporting 22 participating healthcare foundations across the province! 50% of the ticket sales will be awarded to the Nova Scotian who purchased the winning ticket number, and the remaining 50% (minus expenses) will be evenly distributed among the healthcare foundations in Nova Scotia who are participating in the initiative.
How You Can Help
With your support, we can have more hospice beds in our community, expand our support programs, provide accessible education and so much more.
Personal Directive
A personal directive is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and those who care about you. You must make your personal directive while you can still make decisions for yourself. You might not be able to make health care decisions for yourself at some time in the future. A personal directive can help to make sure that you get the care you want. It can help the people who care about you by letting them know what kinds of care you want.
